For hundreds of years, the monks of Sheargardt Manor at Luci Keep have provided spiritual guidance, and world-class ale to the folk who lived nearby in Luci Village. The Keep itself was tasked with keeping the pass over the high mountains of the central continent safe for travellers throughout the year.

But in recent months, creatures dark and wicked have plagued the countryside. The ‘insectmen’ (as the locals named them) have created no end of anarchy and fear among the populace. And especially within peaceful Sheargardt Manor itself.

After many dark days, the Abbot Christoph sent no further word regarding his battle against the foul creatures. The brothers and sisters of the Abby contained the creatures that swarmed below the venerable building. But on a day, nothing more was heard from the Caelian monks.

What is the fate of the monks? And what is the nature of the creatures that roam freely below the catacombs of the monastery, the keep, and the village? Only a foray into the dark depths of the earth will tell truly...

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
